You’ll see history-in-the-making with our two extremely rare Shark Rays – Sweet Pea and Scooter – who are the stars of the only Shark Ray breeding program in the world.  Their grace and beauty co-exist in the tank with powerful Tiger Sharks that are up to 10 feet in length. 

You’ll marvel at 85 feet of acrylic underwater tunnels that wind their way through this 385,000-gallon tank. Walk over our see-through floor or peer through our picturesque bubble windows and get a view of this Atlantic Ocean exhibit like no other. Sand Tiger, Sandbar, and Nurse Sharks peacefully coexist with Southern Stingrays, several varieties of protected Groupers, schooling Jacks and Grunts. Relax as our adult Loggerhead Sea Turtle swims gracefully past you. And, as you leave, experience the Newport Aquarium from a whole new perspective – looking down and into the tank from one of the country's largest open-air viewing areas.
